2016 Annual Report to the Community

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT We’re changing Racine County together In the two years since we announced a bold new direction for United Way of Racine County, we’ve begun to see measurable differences in our community.

Our transition began in 2015, following months of exploration and strategizing with hundreds of residents from all walks of life.

As we looked at the challenges we face, as well as what the future of our county might look like, it became clear: The time was right for United Way of Racine County to change from a fundraising organization to a community impact leader.

The difference is significant.

For more than 95 years, we

20 16 An n ual Repo r t Uni te d Way o f Raci n e Co unty

worked with local companies and individuals to raise money for a host of important causes. In turn, we distributed those funds to numerous local groups and programs focused on making life in Racine County better. While this approach had served us well, today’s challenges call for changing the system.

Our new direction dramatically shifts our business model and priorities. Instead of a wide-ranging approach, we’re determined to make the greatest possible impact by zeroing in on a single, powerful goal: building an educated workforce.

Early in 2016, we announced initiatives to achieve this goal, focusing on the building blocks of a good life: education, income stability and healthy lives. We’re also more targeted in what we ask of the organizations and programs we fund. As a result, some 54 funded programs and special projects, along with seven of our own initiatives, are improving the lives of Racine County residents.

This is just the beginning of a multiyear process. As we concentrate on building an educated workforce, our programs and investments will become ever more specific, more measurable and more accountable.

With the dedication of volunteers, donors and community leaders, United Way of Racine County will help Racine County advance as a self-sustaining, viable community for years to come.

In this report you’ll read about some of our initiatives under the new model, and some of our successes. Whether it’s increasing student attendance at a high priority school, guiding families and individuals to build savings, or raising awareness of healthcare access and healthy lifestyles, United Way of Racine County is leading the way.

You are invited to LIVE UNITED along with us by donating and volunteering. Together, we are creating lasting, positive change in people’s lives. Together, we create the caring power of our community.

By 2025, 75 percent of students graduate and enroll in college, job training, or the military, or secure employment.

WE’RE CHANGING THE FUTURE United Way of Racine County and our partners work at critical points along the school spectrum to help students build skills and confidence.

Our strategies prioritize early childhood literacy and address middle school and high school success. And our initiatives are getting results.

Imagination Library In 2016, we expanded Imagination Library to all of Racine County. Preliminary local data shows that, on average, Burlington Imagination Library participants outscored their peers on the 5-year-old PALS literacy assessment across the board. We want to continue this success by mailing all children in the county under age 5 a free book every month, encouraging literacy development and school readiness. Participating families receive a monthly newsletter and invitations to literacy events throughout the year.

Schools of Hope More than 250 tutors from all walks of life meet weekly with first-, secondand third-grade students to build critical literacy skills. This cross-sector effort develops confident, capable readers who are better prepared to succeed in high school and beyond.

Youth as Resources (YAR) Grants of up to $1,000 fund youth-designed, youth-led service projects that address community needs such as environmental, social, education and cultural awareness issues. YAR empowers young people to change their community— and themselves. Since 1996, YAR has awarded 405 grants totaling more than $273,000.

Born Learning Trails Born Learning Trails encourage families to get active and learn. Stations along each trail offer games to boost language, literacy, problem-solving and gross motor skills for infants through 5-year-olds. This year we added a trail at Knapp Elementary, partnering with the Junior League of Racine. Other trails are at Echo Park, North Beach Park, and West Park.

By 2025, the number of financially stable Racine County residents will increase by 2,000 individuals.

WE’RE CHANGING OUR COMMUNITY

As a community member and leader, United Way of Racine County understands the local economy. We also understand how increasing individual and family financial stability affects the economy.

Our strategies prioritize self-sufficiency, helping people improve employability and reduce dependence on social service programs.

We further partner with organizations and programs that address savings and assets to promote financial literacy.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) VITA is a national program partnering with the IRS to offer free tax assistance to individuals earning less than $54,000. The focus is helping people who earn low to moderate wages claim tax credits for which they qualify, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, and encouraging the deposit of tax refunds into savings accounts.

As we launch VITA for the 2017 tax season, we expect to serve some 350 clients. United Way of Racine County recruits volunteers to prepare taxes (following web-based training) and serve as greeters and interpreters.

Clients are also connected to financial education programs and mentoring.

Advancing Family Assets Working with a coach for up to 12 months, families tackle goals that help create their best possible future. Adults focus on finding or improving employment and better managing money. Children prepare for school and for afterschool activities. And families together practice healthy lifestyles and building strong relationships. AFA is integrated with the Community School model and currently focuses on the 53403 and 53405 ZIP codes.

WE’RE CHANGING LIVES

Improving awareness can improve health—which in turn improves the likelihood of success in school, work and life. United Way of Racine County and our partners provide information and access to advance healthy lifestyles. Our priorities include tackling obesity and emphasizing wellness, and promoting prevention and treatment for mental illness and substance abuse. Our current initiatives also support increased access to healthcare.

FamilyWize With an easy-to-use discount card, United Way of Racine County and FamilyWize Community Service Partnership are making prescription medications more accessible and affordable. The free prescription discount card has no age or income restrictions and no enrollment requirements. It’s available online at familywize.org, by mobile phone or from the United Way office. Residents who are uninsured, face high medication costs or need medications not covered by insurance can receive discounts of up to 40 percent on FDA-approved medications and select pet medications.

The FamilyWize website and app also provide a drug price lookup tool.

CHANGE YOU CAN SEE Collaboration Grows Success with First Community School The demolition of an aging elementary school paved the way for not only a new building, but also a new approach in Racine: a school that serves students, parents and neighbors through a wide range of partnerships, creating stronger families and a stronger community.

The new Knapp Elementary School is Racine’s first community school, launched

by United Way of Racine County in collaboration with Racine Unified School District. The partnership, dubbed LIFT for “Link and Inspire for Tomorrow,” brings an ever-growing array of resources to this location. From dinners that feed the body to dance classes that feed the soul, programs address academic, health, and social service needs.

The new building gives Knapp leaders the opportunity to revitalize school culture to improve student achievement. At the same time, LIFT activities bring teams of caring adults to support the whole child.

“Knapp’s vision is to become the premier full-service community school provider in Racine,” says Jamie Racine, the onsite community school manager.

Kyle King, a Knapp alum and the coordinator of the school’s YMCA Young Leaders Academy, says he wants to be a role model for the nearly 60 third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students in his program.

“I grew up here—and it’s cool to see how the neighborhood is growing,” he says. “This new school is amazing.”
